I have heard of VIP watch and jewellery. But not the other two. Are they offering you a good deal? Why not visit the Panerai boutiques that they have here in HK? See if they offer you a good enough bargain. I have purchased items from the one on Canton Road and they are professional and friendly.

Buying PAMs in Hong Kong
Hong Kong is a haven for watches, not only PANERAI but all watches. In the Hong Kong Watch market, there are mainly the Boutique, the Authorized Dealers (AD) and the gray Dealers like. VIP, K&S, 9 maiali and ETC. Depending on which model you are looking for, they might not have the Watch in question.
Since you are looking for a regular model, PAM01048, I would advise you to buy from an AD. You will be surprised that AD sells certain model cheaper than Gray Dealer. You have to walk around and check when you are there. My friend is in Hong Kong now as we speak, temperature is 15 degrees Celsius at the moment. Great weather to be walking around. Please PM me if you want me to hook you up with an AD. I bought a PAM00048 back in 2015 for my wife. I received 20 percent off MRSP. You will get the same. So, it’s HKD51,800.00 less 20% = HKD41,440.00 and they will probably round down to HKD41,000.00 USD5,256.40 +/- Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

but why not buy it at one of the ADs, its much safer and not like the boutique, AD can offer at least 15% discount on steel, non limited items. i just bought a pam 524 2 weeks ago and the AD offered me 17% discount without too much negotiation on prices. |

I have never gone across the world to buy a watch but it’s pretty cool, I would most likely look up the sellers

Thanks everyone for your responses. Really appreciate everyone's input
I think an AD is definately a better way to go! I have had a look at the list of AD's on the Panerai website and will let you all know how I go! Can't wait for my holiday to begin :D |

Enjoy HK, and I’m certain that you would enjoy your purchase from the PAM boutique here...
